    Hey everyone, thanks for mentioning any references and easter eggs that were missed in the video, I will keep note of that. Also, apologies for mistaking Emerald Hill Zone for Angel Island. I wasn't quite sure, but I will make the correction.

      I believe the confusion was from the mini-series using the Emerald Hill Loop rather than the loop used on Angel Island Zone, despite the rest of the background not being Emerald Hill.

    One very subtle Easter egg people are missing is how knuckles is sitting against the tree in ep. 1 while eating the Doritos. Looks very similar to how he’s chilling in the opening scene of his story in S&K.
